If you read the Bible verses that mention dogs, you have to conclude that God holds dogs in pretty low esteem. They are universally used as a picture/symbol of unbelievers and filthy scavengers.

I’m sorry if that does not fit the dog lover’s high opinion of their pets, but it is Biblically factual.

Biblical speaking us Gentiles do not fair much better.

There is no such Biblical evidence. To the contrary, it is made clear that God treasures His creation from the beginning — ALL of it (not just the two-legged ones!) The covenant made after the flood included the animals; and it is clear that ALL of creation groans for redemption -— (not for “nothingness”). Yes, the Bible was written for man because animals do not need salvation. Their souls are not in jeopardy. Scripture makes it clear that animals will be there — in Heaven and the new Earth. This was accepted by most noted theologians and preachers for centuries. It’s only been the last 100 years or so where mankind has gotten so big for his britches that he’s concluded he’s the only thing that matters. No doubt about it. Animals, like humanity, were created to be eternal. They precede man in the Garden...and death was not part of God’s plan. What He has intended will come to pass.

We gentiles are the little dogs who feed from God’s chosen people’s table.

God apparently had a change of heart about us and dogs.
